Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Broncos this weekend: B.

The tape said wait; the Broncos did not. Bucky Irving went at the 33rd pick, a good 60 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Thomas steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 4 they get a red-zone target to build around. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at No. 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Good price on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 65, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Corley reach the 76th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in pick 122 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
By-the-book stuff, Roger Rosengarten at pick 146 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to Round 6, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They took Kimani Vidal at par in the 237th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
They will replay Nathan Thomas at the 241st pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
